Agenda

The retreat is fundamentally a strategic planning retreat with dedicated time to address organization-wide goals and issues. Another objective is for the participants to get to know each other, to find out each others skills, to share insight on free knowledge and non-profits organization, and hopefully, start building teams.

See Meeting August 2007/agenda and Meeting August 2007/Program for more information.

A leaflet was produced by Sean and Anthere, and distributed during the meeting. The document can be downloaded here.
